Hi Justin

Welcome to the forum - excellent to see another Cornhusker on board.

I love crappie too, but heed the words of advice here - unless you go SINGLE SEX crappie or are up for trying an experiment with Magnolia crappie, LMB and HSB I would resist the urge to introduce crappie to a pond of your size as they will likely overpopulate, stunt, and ruin the rest of your fishery.

I have some ponds built just two years ago outside of Lincoln and would be happy to share my experiences with you anytime. Feel free to PM me if you want to chat.

Good to have you here, Justin. Trust me, it's the NEXT best move you could have made as a pond owner - now become a subscriber to Pond Boss Magazine to round out your addiction! ;\)
